You may have noticed that it’s been pretty quiet around these parts lately, but I promise that it’s for a damn good reason.

The bad news is I will no longer be updating Binkalicious, but the GREAT news is that I’m not giving up blogging altogether. I’ve been given an AMAZING opportunity, and you can now find me writing over at MissJia.com.

I really appreciate all of the love and support you have shown Binkalicious, and I hope you guys join me over at Miss Jia!

While you were grilling hot dogs and popping off $10 worth of bottle rockets, the fabulous Knowles ladies were spending their 4th of July sh*tting on hoes in Texas.

Beyonce, sister Solange, Miss Tina, and a few other members of the “Royal Fam” celebrated America’s birthday in their hometown of Houston. Solo shared the above pic on Instagram with the caption:

#texastweets Me, and you. Yo mama and yo cuz-n too…

Get on their level!

I love seeing female rappers come together, and I love it even more when the result is a dope track!

Trina has enlisted fellow femcees Lola Monroe and Shawnna for a new collabo “Bad Bychhhh.” All three ladies hold their own on the cut, but damn, Lola went innnnnnnn! That girl is really starting to grow on me more and more with each song that I hear.

This one is definitely going on the iPod immediately.

First of all, I just want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. I promise I haven’t forgot about y’all! I’ve been working a seasonal job selling fireworks (why anyone allows me to be around large amounts of explosives is beyond me, but whatever), and I have literally had no extra time to hit the blog. No worries though, I should be back posting on the regular again tomorrow.

Until then, get into these links!

Kanye West and new flame Kim Kardashian were recently spotted shopping in Paris, and their outfit choices were definitely far from vegan friendly. Between Kim’s snakeskin boots and her boo’s leather pants, the reality star is just asking to get flour-bombed again.

Sadly, their over-priced leatherware is probably the most interesting part of these photos. They both look completely unammused, and is it just me, or does that hand hold look super awkward?

*Sigh* it must be so damn rough to be beautiful and wealthy.

Get ready to see the softer side of Rozay…and I’m not talking about his double Ds.

Rick Ross and Usher have teamed up for the visual for their track “Touch’N You,” and surprisingly, Ursh lets Ricky get all of the play.  The video features Ross and his leading lady Tae Heckard (of The Game) in a few different romantic scenes, while Usher just lays in the cut and sings the hook.

I never thought a Rick Ross video would make me say “Awwwwww,” but he’s definitely catering to the ladies with this one.

Sidenote: Shout out to whoever styled Tae for this shoot, because all of her looks are super fab. If I had her body (and budget), that swimsuit from the opening scene would definitely be in my closet!

When I first heard about the scuffle between Chris Brown and Drake in NYC, I definitely was shocked. Not shocked that a rapper (even a Canadian one) would get into a club altercation, but shocked that it was between Drizzy and Breezy. I was always under the impression that Christopher had a good relationship with Young Money, so it seemed a little odd that they would have beef.

And wouldn’t you know it, apparently Weezy feels the same way. Lil Wayne is not about to let Wheelchair Jimmy Aubrey f*ck up his collabo coins, and according to TMZ he’s insisting that the beef be squashed immediately.

Sources close to Drake tell TMZ, Drizzy has received several calls from Weezy, Birdman, Mack Maine and more — urging the rapper to extend an olive branch to Brown after last week’s nightclub brawl in NYC.

Sources tell us, Wayne and co. are worried the rift will affect business — since Brown appears on several tracks with Young Money members and, pure and simple, Brown = hits.

We’re told Drake doesn’t want to reach out to Breezy until he knows CB doesn’t actually blame him for last week’s melee — despite what Brown’s lawyer has been saying … that Drake was one of the aggressors.

We’re told Young Money’s on Drake’s side no matter what — but as one source put it, “Making money matters most.”

Welp Drizzy, like your girl Nicki says, “The President has spoken.”

I’m pretty much willing to give anything with 2 Chainz featured on it a chance, and this track is no exception. Newcomer and San Diego native Jenna has snagged the “hair weave killer” for her first single, and it sounds like they’ve got a hit on their hands.

It’s definitely not the type of cut you’d expect 2 Chainz to lend his bars to, but I could definitely see this song introducing him to the Top 40 crowd.

Are you feelin’ it?

Capitalizing on the enormously popular novel Fifty Shades of Grey, Self Magazine has dubbed their latest shoot with Trey Songz “50 Shades of Trey.” (Sorry ladies, but none of the pics include whips, chains, collars, or any of the other freaky-deaky ish that book has you fantasizing about.)

The “Heart Attack” singer’s spread is featured in the upcoming, July music issue, and unfortunately, his shirt does make a few appearances.

Shot at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, Trigga and French model Eve Tramunt definitely will have women everywhere wishing they had that type of chemistry with Mr. Songz.

Check out more of the steamy photos, plus a behind-the-scenes look, after the break.
